Ooh boy! I'm going to be watching this thread! I'm on week 6, but my (morbid?) curiosity wants to see what everyone thinks of 11 and 12. Good luck. You have all come so far and you are leading the way for the rest of us!

well, i watched workout 11 and 12 yesterday and i was seriously concerned that i would not be able to finish this workout. all the pushups and stupid chaturanga for 30 seconds, i truly truly thought it was going to be the workout that i was gonna give up in the middle. however, this morning i had no trouble. yeah, pushups are hard. yeah holding in chaturanga is hard for 30 seconds, but i did it. i didn't even feel like i was going to die. i honestly think workout 9 and 10 were harder for me the first day i did them than workout 11 was today. if you watch workout 12, jillian seems a little lenient.. of course i haven't done the workout yet, but i feel like it won't be as difficult as workout 11.

I....finished....can't....do....chaturanga...(huff, huff)...will...teach me...not to...slack off...the week before...
My knees really feel like they took a beating-I had to modify quite a bit. I was shocked when she said grab a weight, get into boat pose and twist the weight over from side to side. I just got into boat pose and did it...I've definitely improved on that move and I still have to bend my knees, but I did it! Can not do the 3-point pushup. I have to get on knees for that one.

OK, so I don't feel so bad now
Crab kicks weren't so awful either, but there will be no double-timing it for me at this point! Sometimes I feel like my heart is going to burst out of my chest. I check my HRM and it says 117. WTH?!?

whew. workout 12. it looks so easy. i mean reverse fly in plank... you wouldn't think it would be difficult in week 11 and 12, but it is. i used 5 lb weights for it and was saying, "she said 3s, you should have used 3s" the entire time. i really didn't think this workout was too bad though. the cable work really works your shoulders... oh and that cable, hollow man, fly "teaser" move she does... i think there is something magic in their cables because i don't come up into a V as easily as they do... they make it look so easy! i will have to say that my shoulders and chest really are sore from workout 11 yesterday though!

Haven't we done Reverse Fly in Plank before? Why was it so HARD today? I had to do my second set on my knees!
There is no way that I will ever be able to do Wheel. I don't bend like that. Honestly, I agree that it was not as bad as I thought it would be. I didn't preview it, so I had no idea what to expect. Dancing Crabs? No problem! However, I did notice that not everyone had their hands facing the same direction. It's easier if you let your hands splay out a little.

Even if you start with just one. That's awesome! I just finished day 89 today and my wheel improved greatly over the last 3 weeks. Check out my blog phatsoslim.blogspot.com Stay Strong! Trina

I'm not even going to try the wheel - I'm glad you were able to do it but when I tried, my head got dizzy immediately. I thought I was going to be sick!
Congratulations on your trip through the Revolution!

I did workout 12 for the first time yesterday...couldn't get into wheel at all so just did regular pushups instead. I was shocked that I could do the dancing crabs! Felt great :)

I'm on my final week and am so sad :( I am proud of the progress I have made in these two workouts though. I can now do both sets of wheel pushups. I have a funny back though so what helps me I have found is if I am almost on my tip toes...it gives me better flexibility in my back without it hurting. In workout 11, I try to do as much unmodified as possible. I don't think i'll ever be able to do a three part push up fully unmodified though

Is it weird that I find the scorpion push ups easier than the one legged push ups about three or four weeks back? Cannot do chatarunga to save my life, I definitely do the modifier haha.
Fearing 12, about to do it for the first time in a minute.

I found scorpion push ups a lo easier than I thought I would. Have been able to do both sets unmodified from day one. I hate chturanga hold too! I found the one legged push ups brutal too...had to modify half way through on each set.
I found workout 12 easier than workout 11 by the way :) enjoy |

Thanks for all of these posts, I start Week 11 on Wednesday and this gives me some insight on what to expect. It's hard to believe I have only 3 weeks left in my 90 days,
